Okay, apparently the Ender client hates me or I'm just not doing something right...
I successfully created a run.bat file on both my Windows 8 and Windows XP computers using your instructions and the text in the post above, but even with all my tweaking it doesn't work 100% properly. Here's the text I used for the bat.files (tried multiple .bat files with multiple codes, since my Windows is also in german):
For Windows 8:
"C:\Programme (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_131\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com (Gives me a 'Connection refused: connect' message when running the haven.jar and when running updater.jar, it freezes while connecting. Running the .bat file does nothing.)
C:\Programme (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_131\bin\java.exe -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com (Got rid of the " just to test it out. Gives me a 'Connection refused: connect' on haven.jar and crashes with updater.jar. The .bat file still does nothing when running it.)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com (Haven.jar still gives me the error message and updater.jar still crashes. .bat file does nothing.)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com (.bat file still does nothing and haven.jar still gives me the error message. Updater.jar freezes while connecting, just like with the first code.)
So, as you can see, it just refuses to work on Windows 8. I actually got it to work with Windows XP (guess my Ender client just hates Windows 8) using both the following codes and running the .bat file itself, instead of running haven.jar or updater.jar:
"C:\Programme\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com
C:\Programme\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar legacy.havenandhearth.com
It actually works a little better than before, because now I can load all my old characters without problems, something the Ender client refused to do before (at least as long as I load them at my hearthfire or somewhere in the wilderness; if I load them where I last logged off, it sometimes refuses). I also can sometimes travel back to my hearthfire, without the game crashing and throwing me back to the login screen (other than the standard client which throws me to the login screen everytime).
Only problem is, the map is still kinda messed up (as seen here http://imgur.com/iWwOc10) and the game still throws me to the login screen every time I exit/enter a house, which is both annoying and a problem I had with the standard client as well (as discussed here viewtopic.php?f=39&t=40052&p=738578#p738578). Can't say if the Ender client crashes at other points as well, since I haven't tested it out that long yet.
So in short it refuses to work on Windows 8, works on Windows XP, but still gives me some rather annoying problems. And I don't know what else to do now.
